6 PKK/YPG members "neutralized" in northern Syria, Turkish Defense Ministry says

"A total of 6 PKK/YPG members, including two senior members, were neutralized in a joint operation by the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) and the Turkish Armed Forces after intelligence information was gathered that they were holding a meeting in Tel Rifat district of northern Syria," the statement said.

Turkish Defense Ministry uses the word "neutralized" in its statement instead of "killed", "captured" or "surrendered". (ILKHA)
